South Africa Reaches First World Cup Knockouts

The victory sparked jubilant celebrations across South Africa, with fans pouring into the streets in their pyjamas in the early hours.

The team, dismissed by pundits as no-hopers, used anger as motivation to advance.

Maseko, the son of a truck driver, became the hero of the moment.

South Africa now prepares for a knockout match against Canada, marking a historic achievement for the nation's football.
